Abstract:
Example techniques may involve multiple calibrations for a playback device. In an example implementation, a first playback device, while in a first playback configuration, applies a first calibration to playback by the first playback device, which offsets acoustic characteristics of a first listening area. The first playback configuration configures the first playback device to play back the first audio content (a) independently or (b) in a bonded zone with a second playback device. The first playback device joins a synchrony group in a second playback configuration. While in the second playback configuration as part of the synchrony group, the first playback device applies a second calibration to playback by the first playback device, which offsets acoustic characteristics of a second listening area. The second playback configuration configures the first playback device to play back the second audio content in synchrony with a third playback device in the second listening area.
